What should I do if I have a childhood sweetheart who wants to be a singer? Chapter 374 It’s time to let everyone know the true identity of the Faceless Man
Chapter 374 It’s time to let everyone know the true identity of the Faceless Man
"The Return of the Monkey King performed well at the box office on the first day, but there were still no surprises in its subsequent performance.
Even the box office on the second day was more than 20 million yuan more than the first day.
And most of the subsequent audiences are actually adults.
It has never happened before that such a large adult audience bought tickets to watch an animated movie not because of their children.
Even if you tell some people in the film industry, no one will believe you.
But this is the fact.
Many anime information bloggers on Weibo also seem to be celebrating the New Year at this time.
Talk about the rise of Chinese comics can be seen everywhere.
At the same time, Ling Jiuqian, the animation department of Station G, was also very excited at this time.
I'm glad I made the right bet.
Signed a cooperation agreement with Tongji Entertainment in advance.
Otherwise, if you want to talk about cooperation now, there will definitely be many competitors.
After this movie "The Return of the Great Sage, Cherry Animation's reputation has become famous.
For a time, its popularity almost surpassed that of some of the other most powerful animation companies in China.
Currently, Cherry Animation is not the only one on the market that is making youth-oriented animations.
But the effect has never been ideal.
In fact, the main business still relies on animations for children to make money.
Everyone knows that there is a domestic market. After all, many anime from the island country have a lot of domestic fans.
But despite their efforts, the effect is still very little, and cannot compare to many anime works from the island country.
In the final analysis, it is because there is still a gap between domestic development in this area and that of island countries.
It’s not just a problem with the work, it’s also incomparable in every aspect.
And the risk is too great, and not many companies are willing to take the risk and try it.
This time Tongji Entertainment's "The Return of the Great Sage" appeared, which gave everyone some hope.
But in the final analysis, many companies that do not have enough accumulation still dare not try easily.
A big animated movie like this could very well bring down the entire company.
In fact, Ling Jiuqian also hopes that these domestic animation companies can help.
After all, the copyright fees in island countries are not cheap, and many of them have the practice of raising prices on the ground.
Although Ling Jiuqian is a highly concentrated two-dimensional person, he actually doesn’t like the island country very much.
I don’t really hope that all the copyright fees of G station will be earned by these island country businessmen.
"No, there's still so long before "The Return of the Great Sage" is released."
"I have to urge Cherry Animation to start working on new works as soon as possible."
Most of the contracts signed between Ling Jiuqian and Tongji Entertainment are actually about dramas.
On the contrary, animated movies such as "The Return of the Great Sage" are not the focus of the contract.
Even Tongji Entertainment can not sell the copyright to G station after the movie is released.
The g station just has an additional priority to purchase.
"New script?"
At this time, Xu Ji, who was far abroad, received a call from Youman.
Xu Ji actually knew about the cooperation between Tongji Entertainment and the animation department of G Station, but he didn’t know much.
Because Youman would often report various things to his boss, but Xu Ji basically just glanced at it and was too lazy to delve into it further.
Now that he heard a sudden request for a script, he began to think about Cherry Animation's next project.
Originally, Xu Ji had the impression that "The Return of the Great Sage" took such a long time to be produced, but it was finally released and the results were good.
Logically speaking, employees should be given a long vacation.
But Youman said that the entire Cherry Animation company has been resting for almost half a month.
Moreover, the person in charge, Yu Longwu, has long wanted to ask Xu Ji for a new project script.
I just don’t have the nerve to speak.
After all, the company knows that Xu Ji is currently filming abroad, and I am still quite busy.
After Xu Ji hesitated for a while, he agreed.
Although writing animation scripts is indeed quite time-consuming because of the need to draw characters and the like.
However, Xuji does have some slightly simpler animation projects.
It's just the right time for me to let the people of Cherry Animation relax while I'm filming.
After Youman and Xu Ji finished talking on the phone, what surprised him was that news suddenly came from abroad.
The animation studio they previously acquired in the United States has completed the production of a script written by Xu Ji himself, which is also an animated film.
At this time, "The Return of the Great Sage" is currently being screened. The three animation companies under Tongji Entertainment, the United States, the island country, and the domestic...
They all started production almost at the same time.
So the completion time is almost the same, which is not a big surprise.
Of course, although the production is completed, it will definitely take some time before it is released.
After all, the early publicity is on the one hand, and the subsidiary itself is in the United States, and it will be released simultaneously abroad.
After introducing it into China, there are many details that need to be paid attention to in various aspects.
At present, the film production process in the island country is not as fast as expected.
Perhaps because of Xu Ji's various requirements for the acquisition company, the project's production cycle seems to be longer.
Even Xu Ji himself needs to spare time from time to time to work on projects in the island country.
In the United States, the filming of "Saw" has been officially started for some time.
The progress cannot be said to be very fast, it is even a bit slow.
Mainly because as a producer and supervisor, Martin has changed from his usual fun-loving character and is very serious.
The requirements for the director are also very strict, and the film must be perfected.
Otherwise, based on the current American film industry system, such a low-cost movie can definitely be completed within a month.
Of course, the sudden sexual change of a playboy like Martin Mason really surprised all the second-generation people around him.
At first, everyone thought that the other party was just a three-minute sensation, but they did not expect that Martin Mason was serious.
Now I don’t go to bars anymore, and the beautiful actress who just debuted is no longer interested. She spends every day in the crew, as if she is possessed.
"Martin is really serious this time."
"I called him several times yesterday, but even the model with such a good figure couldn't get him to come over."
On the set, Martin's friends came to visit.
The parents of these people are basically either rich or noble.
Of course, like Martin, they basically don't do anything serious. All they think about every day is going somewhere to eat, drink and have fun.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be mixed up with the previous Martin Mason.
But at this time, a partner was suddenly missing, causing everyone to lose a lot of interest.
In the past, Martin was usually the one who organized the game.
Nowadays, you can hardly see anyone on any occasion.
"I think he was deceived by the Chinese people."
“I don’t know why I am so excited about this movie with millions of investment.”
Several people seemed very disdainful of Martin being so enthusiastic about being a film producer.
And it’s a low-budget film worth several million.
I even feel that Martin is making a fuss out of a molehill.
"It's so boring."
"There isn't even a beautiful woman in this crew."
"How about we go."
As they talked, they left directly without saying hello to Martin.
At the same time, as one of the eight major film and television companies in the United States, Paige Pictures' status in the entertainment industry here is unquestionable.
As the chairman of the board, Wesker Mason has not focused on these trivial matters of the company during this time.
In fact, with the current scale of Paige Pictures, even if he is the boss, it will not have any impact.
As long as he makes decisions that affect the life and death of the company, he will cheer up and deal with them.
"Mr. Wesker, the second young master is indeed making a movie."
"Basically I stay on that set every day."
"But the investment in that movie doesn't seem to be big, or very small."
"It is estimated that it will not exceed five million."
Hearing his assistant's words, Wesker frowned.
Since the end of the National Award Ceremony, his second son, who only got into trouble every day, suddenly became much more peaceful.
But Wesker is definitely still worried, fearing that the other party will hold back a big move and then ask him to help wipe his butt.
So I secretly asked someone to investigate.
The result was that the guy really suddenly changed his gender.
Actually got down to business.
"Have you found out who gave him the money?"
In fact, it was not a surprise to Martin that he made a movie.
After all, the other party would probably come to him for money under such an excuse in the past.
Of course, in the end, most of the money used to invest in the movie ended up in Martin's own pocket and was squandered.
Martin thought he did these things very secretly, but in fact he couldn't escape his father's eyes.
But this time Martin came back and started investing in making movies without asking him for a penny.
Obviously he was shortlisted for the National Award, and Wesker was originally going to give him tens of millions to see if he really had some talent.
Unexpectedly, after his son came back, he didn’t even call him once.
"It is a Chinese company."
"The boss of the company is a Chinese artist, and his name is Xu Ji."
The assistant answered.
Apparently, the company that Martin Mason helped Xu Ji register in the United States and the background of Tongji Entertainment have been investigated clearly.
"A Chinese company?"
Wesker looked a little surprised after hearing this.
In fact, he is not afraid that his prodigal son is fooling around outside, and spending money is not a big deal.
You can spend as much as you want. To put it more arrogantly, the Paiqi family has a huge business. If Martin can defeat it casually, he may not be able to defeat it in a short time.
But what Wesker cannot accept the most is that his son is used by others.
Especially in his opinion, his second son Martin is indeed not very smart, and it is completely normal for him to be deceived.
But after thinking about it, a Chinese company was looking for his idiot son, and for a while he couldn’t figure out what the other party was doing.
Is it really because of Martin's outstanding ability that he was attracted by the other party?
Wesker then shook his head and denied his idea.
He still doesn’t know about his own son?
If you spend three days and three nights with that guy, you probably won’t be able to find any good qualities in him.
But so far, it seems that nothing unusual has been found.
And his useless son has finally seemed to be doing something serious for so many years, so he has no reason to interfere.
So I just waited and watched what happened, wanting to see what kind of movie I could make this time.
At the same time, while "The Return of the Great Sage" is currently on the air, Mo Jianwen and Wang Jiangyu have already begun preparations for a new episode of "The Masked Singer.
Mainly because of the previous Chinese style special competition, which directly pushed the show's quality to the highest position.
On the contrary, it put pressure on both of them.
I don’t even dare to take pictures of the next issue easily.
Of course, both of them are used to this program being separated by a long time.
During this period, in addition to studying the format of the upcoming competition, the two also filmed a new show.
However, it is mainly a talent show variety show for amateurs. Generally speaking, it is definitely not as popular as "The Masked Singer."
I didn’t spend too much time on this, it was just a temporary photo shoot to change my mood.
However, Wang Jiangyu himself did not expect that he would actually cooperate with Mo Jianwen, and they would gradually become more and more understanding.
You must know that at the beginning, I was quite unhappy when I saw the other person.
Unexpectedly, things would develop in this direction.
Although the two people still bicker from time to time, they are no longer as tit-for-tat as before.
In my heart I admire the opponent's ability, but I just refuse to admit defeat.
"Decided?"
"Are you really going to start the final elimination phase?"
Wang Jiangyu actually couldn't believe that these words came out of Mo Jianwen's mouth.
"We can't keep filming one show forever."
"Even if it is possible, I don't want to do this."
“You can’t stand down even if you rest on your merits.”
Mo Jianwen replied firmly.
"How popular is the Masked Singer show? Even if it takes a long time to air one episode, there are still discussions about the contestants on the Internet from time to time.
Especially for the Faceless Man and the Redeemer, the discussion about their identity has even been exaggerated to the point where some people have paid a reward.
If this show continues to be filmed, it’s not impossible.
After all, the competition system of the program is such that new singers can be recruited in each episode.
But Mo Jianwen knew very well that they couldn't really film one show for a lifetime.
And although he wants to make money, he won't do this.
Although Wang Jiangyu has always said that he has a strong smell of copper, he does not look like a variety show director, but more like a businessman.
Mo Jianwen himself does not deny it, but even as a businessman, he still has his own arrogance.
Wang Jiangyu sighed and nodded.
Regarding Mo Jianwen's decision, he was actually a little reluctant, but he still agreed.
"It's time for everyone to know who the Faceless Man is."
Mo Jianwen patted the other party and said softly.
